Chose Your Experience
Participants can choose to attend Part 1, Part 2, or both. Individual classes are also available for those who can’t commit to the full schedule. It’s a great way to keep up your training during the summer months when many schools are closed and connect with other dancers from across Germany.
​
Throughout both parts of the intensive, participants will be mentored by professional dancers who will guide them in mastering new movements, improving technique, and building confidence. This is a rare opportunity for young dancers to receive personal coaching and encouragement from seasoned professionals who are passionate about helping the next generation of dancers.
